About the movie: Aavasavyuham is a cinematic UFO. Crafted as a mockumentary, the film follows the journey of a mysterious man named Joy. As he becomes entangled in various encounters across the lush landscapes of Kerala, Joy seems to develop a special, almost supernatural, connection with nature. Some find this connection fascinating, while others find it frightening.
